I have purchased a new computer, and downloaded HPT to it. It will read "sample" tunes, but when I hook it up to either Vette, it will not "read" and just gives a dialog box that states it cant find the PCM and ask to check connections. I can take my old computer, hook it up and it reads.
Any ideas?

Is the new computer reading the usb? does it have any drivers that it needs installed? Does it detect your licenses? it might not even be reading the HPT box.

The HPT forums are a great source of info. With that being said, it sounds as if a driver needs to be download and a port chosen for the hpt box. Do you still have a disc or executable file? Try redownloading it. Also, I didn't think you could view an ECM or existing tune without a license. I could be wrong there. Get on that forum, there's a wealth of info.

Well; It finally "found" it. I just kept trying and it suddenly just started downloading. Didn't change anything, so now I don't even know what the cause was.

Lol it's always something small and wierd. In my world, simply shutting the pc down sometimes can hel re-establish connection properties. Good luck!
